New iPad Pro (2020) — Apple's newest tablet, aimed to replace laptops
It’s a magical piece of glass.
It’s so fast most PC laptops can’t catch up.
It has pro cameras that can transform reality.
And you can use it with touch, pencil, keyboard, and now trackpad.
It’s the new iPad Pro.

The day they will decide to mount on it a serious OS it might make sense. Or if iOS is their bet, they have to invest dunno-how-much-money to help main sw houses (first, Adobe) to release a full version of their suite native for iOS, switching sw focus from macOs to iOS. Till than, not thanks.

Apple is finally catching up with Microsoft. That's a sentence I never thought I would say!
And $281 for a keyboard? Apple is really stretching the pricing limit!
"Cursor 2.0" implementation looks unique – the cursor circle morphs into a hovered version of the control underneath it. Can be seen about halfway down the page or https://twitter.com/twolivesleft...
I'd take it if I was gifted one, but Otherwise I'll stick to my 1st Gen iPad Pro thanks. Because you can't charge people laptop prices for a tablet if it doesn't replace your laptop. None of the creation apps I use as daily workhorse apps will run natively on an iPad.
Sometimes Apple forgets that the software is more important than the hardware.
@neunzehn90 So they can continue to require developers to pay them to approve every application. This is the war on general computing that we were warned about
@neunzehn90 I do understand why iPadOS and not MacOS. I switched to Win10 on SPro6 from years of Apple-ness. I hate it. It is simply bad. Half-cooked. Sure I still use it because its a 2-in-1.
Apple likes to perfect things and provide only that to their users. I do not mind iPadOS. I just wish iPadOS grows up fast so I can get all work done on it without needing an actual desktop OS. I will throw away from SPro6 without thinking twice.
I was wishing it had MacOS. Can't do many professional tasks with iOS. Without full Adobe CS, Figma, Sketch, and code editors such as Sublime and Atom neither designer nor developer can fully use it.
Without MacOS, it's just a fancy messaging and content tool.
@vineet_sinha I was thinking the same thing. Might they bring MacOS app support? Im a programmer so I know and agree with what you're talking about.
Wow, I didn't realize that the keyboard case actually stays up like that. I thought it was just a mock-up!
All that seems nice but because it runs iOS we can't use web applications like Figma and Webflow... Or can we? THAT is the question I need to know the answer to.
